Abstract

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) have been studied intensively with expectation of applying MMCsto various structural and machine components. In most MMC systems, the coefficient of thermal expansion of reinforcement is smaller than that of metal matrix, resulting in tensile residual stress in the matrix at room temperature. This tensile residual stress in the matrix reduces the tensile flow stress of a MMC. We processed TiNi SMA fiber/1100 Al matrix composite by pressure casting route. The results of the stress-strain curves of TiNi/Al composite with and without prestrain are given.
